Because the definition of twin primes is: two prime numbers with a difference of
2.
3 and 5 are both prime numbers, and their difference is 5 - 3 = 2 → they are twin primes.

Is 71 and 73 twin primes?
twin primes are 2 prime numbers with a difference of 2 the prime numbers 5 and 3 are twin primes because 5 minus 3 equals 2 so 109 and 111 are not twin primes
What is a pair of twin prime?
A twin prime pair are two primes separated by 2. For example, 3 and 5 are twin primes. It is conjectured that there are an infinite number of twin primes.
What are the next twin prime numbers after 2 and 3?
Well, to begin with, 2 and 3 are not twin primes. The first twin primes are 3 and 5, but then 5 and 7 are also twin primes. After that, it's 11 and 13, then 17 and 19, 29 and 31, and 41 and 43. Twin primes are distinguished by having a difference of 2 between them.
What are two odd numbers called when they are separated by just one compisite number in between them?
They are called twin primes. 3 & 5 are twin primes.
What are the examples of twin prime numbers?
Prime numbers that differ from each other by exactly 2 are twin primes. Examples of twin primes are 3 and 5, 17 and 19, 599 and 601.

Are 3 and 5 twin primes?
Yes, they are.

They are called twin primes. 3 & 5 are twin primes.
Which two numbers are twin primes?
3 and 5, among others.
What are the examples of twin prime numbers?
Prime numbers that differ from each other by exactly 2 are twin primes. Examples of twin primes are 3 and 5, 17 and 19, 599 and 601.
Is the sum of prime numbers cannot be a prime?
Not true. 2 + 3 = 5, where all three are primes. One of the primes in the sum must be 2, otherwise both primes would be odd and their sum would be even (and >2) and therefore not prime. Such primes: p and p+2 [3 and 5 in the above example] are known as twin primes and there are infiitely many twin primes.
What is the twin prime for 7?
5 and 7 are twin primes.
What twin primes are pairs of prime number that differ by 2?
5 - 3 = 2
Is 5 and 7 twin primes?
Yes.
What are the twin primes of 200 and 240?
200 does not have twin prime factors. The twi prime factors of 240 are 2,3 and 3, 5.
